Sounds like things that could be switch under new management? Much like many of us would hope for CoD?
If anything, getting Roblox just for the money would be the greedy move lol.

I can’t believe Roblox is as big as it’s gotten. I played it when I was a kid…
More disappointingly, I can’t believe how horrendously greedy and “sold out” it’s gotten since the time I used to play it

It feels like getting 30% of their sales while spending 0% on the upkeep of that franchise is the less risk-adverse move and thus the better greed move. How much would that 70% extra income cost?
The problem with buying Roblox compared to a standard publisher/studio is I don’t think Roblox could pivot if the audience moves away from it. Especially for that price at least with Minecraft tthey are trying new things with dungeons and the ill fated Minecraft earth

I have no idea, it would be a ton of money for sure.
This makes so much sense.
Roblox is very blocky like Minecraft anyway.
The one and only Hindle.

Its wild that right now Take Two is worth less than they paid for Zynga.

Thats the market for you.
Investors didn’t think Zynga was the right move.
Hmm I doubt this is the case, Zynga’s revenue is climbing at an incredible rate, their revenue will soon surpass TakeTwo.
I suspect it’s more likely due the ongoing world issues affecting all stock, in conjunction with the recent mess ups like the GTA trilogy.
Annual Revenue:
Zynga
- 2019: $1.32B
- 2020: $1.97B (49.4% increase)
- 2021: $2.80B (45.6% increase)
TakeTwo
- 2019: $2.66B
- 2020: $3.09B (15.7% increase)
- 2021: $3.37B (9.1% increase)

All the stock is in free fall. Nothing to do with Zynga.

Both of those are from the day after the acquisition was announced, you’ll always get a knee jerk reaction.
If you look at the stock history it was back to its previous open by January 20th (10 days later).
- Jan 7th 162.79
- Jan 10th 147.50
- Jan 11th 141.29
- Jan 20th 164.59
Then around early March stocks started to plummet like many other companies (due to Ukraine and many other factors)

Random guy? That “Random Guy” has a Marketing/Mock Review/Financial consulting firm for video game companies. Think he knows a bit more about the industry than any of us.
Random guy. Titles mean squat if he hasn’t demonstrably shown knowledge about whatever he’s talking about.
Its played by millions of gamers every day and is on every device. MS are all about this.
